The lack of intimacy is one of the most painful elements of life. Intimacy is a
universal human need; without it we will feel lonely. According to the Mental Health Foundation, modern life is making
people feel increasingly lonely.
Lonely people are more prone to developing high blood pressure. Feeling lonely
can increase the risk of Alzheimer's in later life. I believe that's why God
called me to help people to have intimacy with Him. Intimacy with God kills loneliness.
There are some men and women who have been very lonely because lack of gentle love from the time they were little child. This inner emptiness was the result of having parents who had difficulty in being physically affectionate or in communicating their love. In adult life, a person with such a wound may mistakenly think that their loneliness is solely the result of not having an affectionate woman or man at their side. Marriage is not the cure for your emotional wounds and loneliness. It’s impossible to heal your own emotional brokenness through the body of another person as mortal and broken as you are. Only God's love can heal and make you whole.
One of the most famous actresses, Marilyn Monroe, committed suicide, and psychoanalysts have been brooding on the reason why. She was one of the most beautiful women ever, one of the most successful. She had everything to live for; you cannot conceive of more fame, more success, more charisma, more beauty, more health. Everything was there, nothing could be improved upon, and still something was lacking. The inside, the within, was empty. Then, suicide is the only way.
When men have an intimacy problem today, they watch porn. When women have an intimacy problem? I think they eat, go shopping or read a romance novel. Daily new research is revealing that eating disorders are much like any other addiction. They affect the pleasure centers of the brain much like cocaine or heroin, and can be even more dangerous. Eating disorders are biologically based brain disorders.
There's a reason you feel like something is missing in your life. People who seemingly have everything can still feel empty inside. Unless you have something inside you which is not dependent on anything outside. Unless you have intimacy with God, no matter how much you achieve, you will still feel empty.
Stop trying to fill your emptiness from the outside. Let God's love fill you from the inside. The lonely feeling in the core your soul can only be filled with the love and grace from Jesus Christ. Only His love alone can fill the emptiness within you. Seek Him today and receive mercy for your failures and grace to help in the hour of need. He is the only answer to defeat this evil world.
